VERONICA START is a singer/songwriter/writer from Canada, who is always adding to her collection of songs, starting with the first pop & trance single Youre a Star: extended mix peaked at no.11 in the UK Music Week Pop Commercial chart; with the dba trance remix peaking at a respectable no.34 in the same Dance Club chart. This was exceptional for a new indie artist competing against major lable releases.
YOU'RE A STAR was written by Veronica Start (with additional music by Robbie Bronnimann) in tribute to her dear departed friend Raymond, a.k.a. "Ramona" ..and this tune is just oozing with emotion. Humble beginnings and tough emotional experiences have embedded this artist's voice with a penetrating potency you will not forget. The range of emotion experienced in 'You're a Star' instantly engages empathy and uplifts your spirit with a rich intensity that delivers one of the most memorable choruses you'll hear this year.
Veronica is proud of her Metis heritage (a blend of American Indian and European). You can listen to more of her original pop/ambient songs on myspace.com/madamevmusic.
